| - DaiLo was a great immersive foodie experience from the moment we set foot through the door! We were greeted by friendly and helpful front of house, eager to make our random Friday night walk-in a success. We were seated at the bar, and we had the pleasure of being hosted by a talented, attentive, and knowledgeable bartender.
You can tell that the team at DaiLo put a lot of detailed thought into every aspect of the restaurant. From the uniforms, to the menu, to the platware, and to the decor. Everything worked well to create a cohesive modern Asian experience.
The food was exciting and inventive, but payed proper homage to their Asian roots. Their "char siu" octopus was a flavour packed experience, using new ingredients to create a familiarly satisfying taste! Their fried watermelon was on point. Their spot prawns made an exciting congee.
Individually, all our dishes were technically well executed. What we felt lacking was better balance within the dishes themselves and with the course progression. There was a lot of fried, saucy, and heavy flavours. Well before we arrived at the superbly-prepared arctic char, our appetites were checked out.
Extremely excited to see Chinese cuisine being elevated in this way! Worth the experience and future frequentings!
